Abstract

L'invention concerne des appareils et des procédés qui permettent à un dispositif électronique de régler l'application de la friction à une commande d'entrée rotative à l'aide d'un arbre. Selon un exemple, l'appareil peut comprendre un élément tige à ressort ayant une première surface et une seconde surface, la première surface étant disposée adjacente à l'arbre; un élément de tension mobile disposé pour venir en prise avec la seconde surface de la tige à ressort; à mesure que l'élément de tension vient en prise avec la tige à ressort, la tige à ressort vient en prise avec l'arbre et applique une force de friction à l'arbre. De cette manière, l'appareil peut appliquer de façon réglable la quantité voulue d'une force de friction à la commande d'entrée rotative.
